When Words Arent Enough

There comes a point in every relationship, no matter how in love you are with someone, there’s going to be some kind of strain. Maybe someone doesn’t feel like their being listened to, or maybe there’s not enough affection. Eventually every relationship is going to hit a speed bump. There are several important aspects to healthy relationships. The first one I believe is communication. Communication doesn’t always have to be verbal speaking The eyes are the key to your soul. There are many times that two people can convey an unspoken language simply by using their eyes. The way a person looks at another can have very strong emotional effects. When a person looks at their mate with an unbridled desire, the other will receive the emotion mentally. The same holds true to negative or angry energy, be careful what vibes you send to your other half. Physical touch is also another mode of non-verbal communication. This doesn’t mean a simple hug; Dig deeper to the emotional side, a back rub, or more personal and sensual rub down is an excellent way to communicate feelings and desires. Close body contact when unexpected can reignite a smoldering spark. For example, when your significant other was doing the dishes, or watching television, when was the last time you wrapped your arms around them first, or engaged in a snuggle session on the couch. Close physical contact with a loving attitude releases natural feel good endorphins. Written communication, close to spoken but in another form is usually received willingly. Remember the love letters that were once shared when the romance was new? Writing a letter and expressing your value of the other person will help reunite the love flow. Make sure you include the things you love and admire about them, the things you miss and the things that you look forwards to in your future. Meeting the physical needs of a partner expresses an unselfish attitude. Maybe a person isn’t in the mood for an erotic encounter; this doesn’t mean that you should ignore the wants of your partner. There are many ways to meet the sexual needs of your partner without having sex. Take the time and get to know your partners body and find what different triggers will help them in their time of need. Showing them that you are more than happy to help them with their needs before yours will help deepen a relationship.

Changing the monster within

Being a parent with a strong willed child is a frusterating experience. Not being able to go out to public places because your afraid of how your child is going to throw a fit is almost depressing. For all my parent friends who have strong willed kids, here are 5 ways to encourage more desired behavior
1.Praise.
Kids truly do seek to please their parents, with everything that is going on in this crazy hectic world, we sometimes forget how important it is to give praise when it is due. Make sure the praise is genuine, and avoid flat praise, what I mean about flat praise is be specific about the behavior you are pleased with.
Use: I really like the way you shared your toys with Sam
not: Thanks for being good
2.Ignore the trivial
I use to have a really hard time picking my battles with my kids. It seemed that every time they had a problem, no matter how small it was it had an amazing way of turning into something huge. I have learned that if they are not in the process of destroying something, harming themselves or others, let them be. When a fight breaks out over a toy, let them know how silly it is to be fighting over one particular toy while there are other toys to play with, and then walk away, let them work it out. The odds are in our favor that when they observe us not throwing a fuss over it, neither will they.
3.Use rewards
Many friends of mine (including myself) have fallen into the trap of giving their kids a toy when they have been well behaved. That may be fine for some, but could also lead to the child constantly expecting some physical reward a toy, a choice of candy. This leading to the gimme gimmeies. A better idea? How about kids choice?

If you could do one thing with Mommy, what would it be?
If you could take one friend to do something special what would you want to do?
If you could make something, what would it be?
Instead of rewarding them with something physical, help them build a memory.
4.Stop complaining.
No one likes to be around a constant complainer. One of my worst traits was constantly finding something not quite done to my satisfaction,
The rooms were clean, but the bookshelf was a mess
The floor was vaccumed, but someone forgot to move a chair
clothes were folded but not put up
it was the small things that kept me grumbling, some people think that constant nagging will lead to better results, studies have shown that the more you nag, the more it effects a childs self esteem, and kids with low self esteem seem to be the ones more prone to problems. Dont sweat the small things, and you and your kids will have a much better time in the company of others, as well as have a happier home in the end. I learned a lot from a book called 21 days to a happy child, things that really opened my eyes. For those of you that are like me, and feel bad about the way you would yell and scream at your kids like I did mine, there is relief, If your tired of waking up in the morning to the same routine, your nerves are as frazzled as mine and you have a genuine concern for your childs future, this book is for you, find 21 Days to A Happy child Click Here!

Asthma, inhaler no more!

Uuuuugh, here we are again in the pre-asthma months for Bri. Seems the hardest months on her are from January to April, I suppose its all the fluctuating temperatures and over active spores going hay wire.
I can be grateful that her asthma isn't soo severe that we have had many trips to the ER. The one was bad enough for me. I did learn a couple secrets to keep her breathing problems at bay for the most part. I'm a firm believer of natural remedies also.


1. Honey is one of the best well known treatments for asthma. Not just a great additive for honey butter spread, studies have shown that inhaling the fumes from a honey jar help thin the mucus in your nose. Eating a teaspoon of honey will thin the mucus in our lungs, giving us relief in breathing with out using an inhaler.

Lemons, not only used in a homemade furniture polish! Lemons are loaded with vitamin C, we all know what vitamin C does for us. The lemon treatment serves two purposes.

2. Lemon is a natural antiseptic that when mixed 1 teaspoon to a 8 ounce glass of water has been proven to knock out the bad germs that hide in our mucus membranes, which cuts back on the possibility of infections, lemon is another one of natures miracles that thins mucus.

There are many home remedies for natural asthma treatments, for more ideas to help alleviate the agony of breathlessness, I recommend reading Susan Milliars ebook, Dramatic Asthma Relief Click Here!.

Twilight at night review

My Daughter and I recently got in to see the Twilight saga, after weeks of being sold out I was overjoyed to actually get a ticket.
This sequal is well worth the money, after watching a documentary on how they got the special effects worked into the movie, it was even more enjoyable to see it. The love between Belle and Edward is still so intense that you can actually FEEL the emotion, not surprising considering the two of them have such a profound relationship off screen of New Moon. it was heart breaking to watch Edward push Belle away, and I was a little confused as to why he would do such a thing when they knew that olivia was still on the prowl seeking revenge.
The ending was left well opwn for a possible future sequal? The question that Edward asked Belle, what could her reply to that be, and where is Olivia? Is the friendship bwtween Jacob and Belle over for good? Seems as if it might be headed that way, what do you think? Definitly a must see for romance seekers, in my opinion as this is a movie that portrays passion between two lovers on a extreamly emotional leval. Twilight, New moon, was awesome.

Babies and Blackberries

I was looking for something to get my 4 year old daughter for Christmas. One of my better habits involves finding toys for her that will stimulate her mind, and also is a little challenging so that she needs my help once in a while.
I changed to Verizon a couple of months ago, and picked up a blackberry that i am absolutely in love with, i use it for my blogging, and researching different article ideas. Yes I was smitten by my Blackberry. This is probably the main reason I was delighted when i went to amazon and found out that they had a little blackberry for kid
s. How sweet, she can text and learn letters and numbers while she is being just like mommy, I thought it was so cute that i would include a link for it and then you guys could check it out too! its really cute. let me know what you think

Black Friday not for me!

I was seriously entertaining getting up out of my warm and cozy bed this morning to join the throng of people waiting to bust the doors down to get the best early morning deals. This however, did not happen. It was 10 am before i was rousted out of my slumber. After talking to several people, I was kind of glad I didnt go. They said that the sales werent there this year. i have heard alot of the sales are taking place online, and believe me, i would much rather stay in the comfort of my home and search online rather than be surrounded by a stressed out, over tired angry mob. I dont know how many of you shop on amazon, but on scrolling through the sales they have, I found quite a bit on there, just thought you may want to see, heres the link.
